Rating: - Review of SQL/400 Guide
Got the equavalent of what it cost me after about 5 minutes. Great reference and have just recently started at chapter 3 for in-depth how to instructions.
Well written.
Rating: - Most everything you need for SQL on the iSeries

Rating: - Good practical book to learn SQL on iSeries
This book was just what I needed. I'm an RPG programmer who has to learn SQL for a new application we're developing. Found most of what I needed here.

Keep this book at the ready since it's a "quick grab" when questions come ... Read More
